Chefman Anti-Overflow Belgian Maker w/Shade Selector & Mess Free Moat Round Waffle-Iron w/Nonstick Plates & Cool Touch Handle, Measuring Cup Included, Red

I wish I would have found this way before now. Compact and easy to use, this is a great kitchen gadget. The adjustable knob for crispiness is a nice touch. The device doesn't take long to warm, and from there it runs like a champ. A measuring cup is provided, though eyeballing the amount worked best for me. The nonstick surface allows for a quick easy clean-up. If you enjoy a good waffle, this is the one for you.

What a great little machine!!!! When it arrived, I removed the plastic protector between the plates that is used to prevent rubbing when in transit. I wiped down the interior and then put the protector back. Big mistake! For those of you with a working brain, remove the plastic film and if desired replace it with an old towel or micro-cloth when storing the unit. As I was saying, remove the plastic before heating the unit. I forgot that the plastic was there, since it does not stick out. I opened the unit to add the batter, and it looked like a spider web inside. I left it open to go cold, and then wiped out the plastic webs. No, it did not damage the plates. They are non-stick and did their job. I then added batter. I have a recipe for a single waffle. Guess what! It can make about one and a half waffles. I could hear a squeaking sound coming from the unit. Batter was oozing out the sides. The overflow groove can only handle so much. I cleaned the counter, and waited for my waffle to finish cooking. It tasted wonderful. After another complete cool down I wiped off the outside of the unit. It heats up quickly and cooks quickly, wonderful unit.

I really like it. Non stick. Cooks them perfectly. Very easy to clean. There are a few things that could be improved. It doesn’t beep when the waffle is done. There is an indicator light that goes on when done but is hard to see if there is bright light in the room I need to cup my hand around it to see if it is on.

It really means "I came, I saw, I conquered" But in this case it's just about the same thing. Yes, another glowing positive review. Read and follow the instructions and you will conquer the art of making delicious waffles. Perfect waffles, no cleanup. I've had it for about three weeks and no problems at all. Nothing sticks to it, not even chocolate chips. Temperature control is perfect. The range goes from light to crispy in only 1 cycle. No need to wait for another cycle to get nice, crispy waffles. I love it and have no complaints. Yes, measuring cup and overflow is great too. Inside and outside finish is excellent. The red one is beautiful and as far as I can see is only available on Amazon.

Perfect size for individual waffles and fast enough when you're cooking for two, if you couldn't get a head start on building a stack before your partner sat down to join you! Pros: Compact; indicator lights that turns to green when done but most importantly, a walk away safety that turns down to standby a minute or so later after "ready" if you don't open it so you won't burn your waffle. (Yeah, that happened) A darkness selection setting is much appreciated; a measuring cup comes included, thank you very much! And a cord wrap underneath so it fits anywhere neatly. Cons: indicator red light for power "on" but didn't appear to switch to green when the iron was hot enough to start between batches. Maybe it does but I was too impatient to notice. My old one was huge and big enough to make 4 at a time (squares) which was great when I had a tribe at the table but downsizing I donated it and upgraded. It had an indicator light that turned red when preheating, green light when the iron was hot enough to begin and a yellow light when the waffle was done. However, that one wasn't non-stick and didn't power down if you didn't get back to it after it was ready. My son burnt a waffle or two in his teen years... each generation has its challenges. Overall 5 star👍
